As the time gradually enters the wax moon, the weather on the island is wet and cold, and the teenagers have already gotten up from the bed to start their morning work when it is still dark, and there are still very few teenagers who have completed five bamboos in the past few days, and the blue-clothed hall master has fulfilled his promise, and everyone has stopped breakfast since the day before yesterday.

The most uncomfortable people in the past few days are Li Yunlan and others, who live in the same room as Zhining.

It turned out that Zhi Ning from the cliff side of that day to see the eagle to hunt together and then had a realization, the next morning pulled the red bean and Shen Shiyi to the more remote bamboo forest to find the yellow color of the old bamboo, after finding the old bamboo Zhi Ning gestured to one of the three people to go to the bamboo peel first, and the other two then use the method of digging holes to cut down one, if one of the two is tired and the person will be replaced, so that the efficiency is much faster, the three are not as hard as the day before, the task was completed that day, and when the time came, two more felled. But when the three of them are handed in every day, they only hand in five sticks, in the words of red beans: anyway, there is always a steamed bun every day when five sticks are handed in, so that outsiders can not find it, and they can save more, and the three of them don't have to get up early in the morning when the weather freezes in a few days.

But the joy was not long, and I didn't expect the old man in blue to show mercy this time. Three days said that if you can't finish cutting bamboo, you will be punished for dinner, and it should be true. After a few more days, the teenagers could only eat one meal a day.

Zhining's daily meal is not large, but seeing that Shen Shiyi only eats one meal all day, and the weather has been cold recently, his heart hurts, so he immediately settled red beans and Shen Shiyi to tell other teenagers to learn how to cut bamboo together, and on the second day, nine out of ten people in the middle of the fruit completed the bamboo cutting. During the meditation, the old man in blue saw that the young people had indeed grown, and he no longer cared about the remaining ten percent. Announcing in public that breakfast will resume as soon as it is finished. The young men saw that the bamboo cutting was about to be completed.

However, Li Yunlan and his entourage did not watch the demonstration of the three of Zhining for the sake of face, and they had no hope for breakfast for many days.

"Sister Yunlan, let's go and see how that dumb man does it, it's okay that I haven't eaten breakfast in the past few days, but when I practice, I will almost lose sight, and the girls who live in other rooms in our courtyard see us on weekdays, although they don't say anything on the surface, they all laugh at us secretly." The slightly plump girl persuaded.

Another girl next to her also persuaded her, "Anyway, we also watched it last time, and this time we will secretly follow it to see, and when the bamboo is finished, others don't know that we learned from them, hehe, do you say it's Sister Yun?" ”

Li Yunlan's face showed a slight pink, and she said in shame: "Don't look at it, don't look at it, I'm also Miss Li's family, and I was instigated by you to do this stealing from other people's families once, if I let people know that my face is lost, I won't go this time." ”

"Hehe, it turns out that Sister Yunlan is afraid of being known by others, there are just a few of us here, we promise that no one will say anything, sister, if you don't want to see it, then we can learn it ourselves." The girl with slender eyes covered her mouth and smiled.

Li Yunlan feigned anger and said: "Look at your clever appearance, you didn't have to be so smart when cutting bamboo. Who of you will be found and who does not know that I have sent him? I'll go with you again, this time I'll look closer. ”

"Yes, yes, I know that Sister Yunlan, you are wronged, we have to drag you there, you don't want to go. Hee-hee"

A group of girls giggled and pinched together, and others looked at them like a group of innocent little girls.

………………………………………………………………………

"Sister, Sister Hongdou, you hurry up and keep up, the old bamboo here is no longer easy to find, we have to find it farther away, we have to put two batches of bamboo in one place today." The young man who had already received the kunai took the lead in leading the way, turning back to the two behind him and urging. Later, he was dragged forward by Zhi Ning, who was already crying bitterly, and Hongdou shouted: "Eleven, the two of us are girls after all, you wait for me a little, huh?" Who told you to call me Red Bean? Brat. ”

"Then how do I call you, didn't I add a sister later, Sister Hongdou? Besides, you're only half a year older than me, a little girl, pretending to be an adult. ”

The second half of the sentence was naturally muttered by Shen Shiyi in a low voice, but it was heard by Zhining pulling the red beans who were gradually shortening the distance.

"What do you say? Stinky boy, see if I don't kill you. The girl who was still being dragged by Zhining just now immediately chased forward, looking at the slightest action that she looked like she was just tired and half dead.

Not far away, I finally found a large yellowed bamboo forest, which looked like it was at least five years old. Zhi Ning followed closely behind the two of them, but he was not left behind. Seeing that the two of them were panting, Zhi Ning made a gesture to indicate that the two of them had a short rest, and took a closer look at the bamboo, and sure enough, it was a bamboo that was not small in age, and several of the epidermis were already a little cracked. Just in luck.

Zhi Ning, who was in a good mood, looked back at the two of them, only to see that the two of them were still squinting at each other and looking at each other's cheeks bulging as if they were vindictive, Zhi Ning sneered, and said to the two with gestures: You two, it seems that you came to the wrong family in your previous life, and you will make noise at every turn, and the red beans will grow up in a few years, and you will marry my family.

"Who is going to marry him" hum.

"Who wants to marry her" hum.

The two looked at the gestures made by Zhi Ning's hands, and said in unison, and turned their heads to one side after speaking.

This time there is more tacit understanding, and Zhining is secretly funny. Xindao: The time to get married in this era is early, if you have the opportunity to leave here, Eleven and Hongdou will grow up a little more. It's also able to help me with a heart, one is my brother, the other is my sister, and everyone is in trouble.

Suddenly, Shen Shiyi's voice interrupted Zhi Ning's thoughts.

"Sister, look at what this thing is, the spiky ones are still a little prickly." Shen Shiyi, who was looking for a place to store his bamboo, asked.

When Zhi Ning heard this, he got up and walked in the direction of Shen Shiyi, only to see Shen Shiyi pointing to a plant that was not tall, with a pointed head but a ladder on his body, isn't it? The moment Zhi Ning saw it, all the things he had just thought about were left behind for a while. It's a bamboo shoot.

Since landing on the island, all the food on the island has been kept and distributed by the steward, and the treasury is also guarded by the Chaos Palace-level Qingnin. In addition to using food to urge the young people to practice, this kind of strict protection is probably also to prevent people from stealing food and escaping, so food supervision is particularly important. Although there are hares, pheasants, and other animals in the forest, teenagers who don't even have knives on weekdays can't skin and remove their bones even if they catch them. This time, he finally found an ingredient that could be eaten almost directly, which made Zhining excited.

"Hey, Sansanjie, don't be lazy, come and help me." On the side, Hongdou, who had been busy for a long time, looked at Zhining, who was stuck there, and thought that the two of them were lazy, and hurriedly shouted.

The two siblings, who didn't think about what the bamboo shoots could be used for, hurriedly got up and started to get busy again.

On the hillock not far from the side, behind several dense bamboos, several pairs of eyes were peeking at Zhining and them.

But this time, although the peeping method was not as easy for them as last time.

in the open space.

Li Yunlan looked at the few girls around her angrily and said, "I have already said, first use the rest of the time to help me cut down enough bamboo, one of us will be the first to receive steamed bread today, and a few of us will divide these two steamed buns this morning, and then work together to complete it tomorrow." You just didn't listen, it's good now, I've wasted most of my time following them today, and I can't eat a single steamed bun at this time. ”

In the crowd, except for the two girls who Li Yunlan has been with since childhood, the other girls who were swept by Li Yunlan's gaze all left their faces aside, but no one spoke. When Li Yunlan saw this group of girls who didn't speak, she was even more angry, and she trembled and pointed at the girls, but she couldn't speak.

Everyone was in a stalemate for a long time, and after a while, the slender girl with the corner of her eyes, who had always been close to Li Yunlan, took the lead and said: "Sister Yunlan, it's not that the sisters don't help you, but everyone feels that it's not worth helping." If you talk about it, we can't look down on this broken steamed bun, but now that cultivation is so hard, no one can point to being able to eat an extra bite and have the strength to cultivate. But when you open your mouth, you will ask for a steamed bun yourself, and the rest will be divided between four or five of us. No matter what kind of identity the individual was before the fall of the island, don't forget that we are now the same sisters and sisters, and our identities are quite equal, and some people are dominant, and no one is happy in everyone's hearts. ”

Xu has rarely been contradicted so bluntly since he was a child, Li Yunlan's face immediately turned from white to blue, stomped her feet, turned around and left. The others also had their own thoughts, and everyone looked at the slender girl named Qiao'er in the corner of their eyes, and no one squeaked.

This morning, Li Yunlan and the others once again watched Zhining and Hongdou sit down comfortably and finish breakfast, and even Hongdou gave half of what they couldn't eat to the girl in the bunk.

After the evening, Zhi Ning and Hongdou were going out for a walk as usual and then coming back to rest, and Qiao'er in the house leaned over to Li Yunlan's side slightly, and whispered in Li Yunlan's ear in an almost flattering tone: "Sister Yunlan?"

Hearing this, Li Yunlan raised her eyes and glanced at the person who spoke, and turned her body slightly.

Qiao'er hurriedly turned her body around again in front of Li Yunlan and said with a smile, "Sister Yunlan, Sister Yunlan, don't be angry, people didn't mean to contradict you this morning, maybe you were hungry in the morning, and started talking nonsense, don't worry if you have a lot of adults." Now everyone will come to pay you for it, and besides, I have found another way, and now we will not be hungry tomorrow. ”

"Oh? Then you can tell me about it" her eyes swept over the girls who bowed their heads and did not speak, Li Yunlan's face looked a little better, and she turned her head and said to Qiao'er. In fact, she is not really angry, and in hindsight, she did lose her eldest sister's sense of proportion in the morning, but she was a little depressed that she had never been confronted in front of so many people.

At the end of the day, it is the time when people are asleep in their dreams.

About halfway through, several figures in the house quietly got up from the bed, wearing only underwear, gently carrying their outer clothes, shoes and socks to the outside of the house, and got dressed in the faint moonlight, and walked towards the bamboo forest.

A few people in the group are Li Yunlan and the others.

Li Yunlan, who was walking in front, turned around and whispered to Qiao'er, "Are you sure that we will come out so early and not be found by the Qing Ren who patrols the night?" That's not just about a meal. ”

The girl named Qiao'er smiled mysteriously and said to Li Yunlan: "Sister Yunlan, don't worry, I have already inquired with an acquaintance over there in the men's dormitory, and many people over there got up early to cut down bamboo at this time, and it seems that the ninja side also acquiesced to this method, and sent someone to distribute the tools early." ”

"Oh? Let's move quickly. Li Yunlan said anxiously after hearing this. With that, he walked forward. Just after walking a few steps, Qiao'er stretched out her hand to stop Li Yunlan and the others who were walking in front, and said with a smile: "Oh, Sister Yunlan, don't worry, there is a more trouble-free way today, you didn't hear them say that they have stocked up on a lot of felled bamboo, we just need to find the dumb bamboo they prepared in advance, just bring the ready-made bamboo back, and wait until we have enough strength today, and then go to cut down bamboo tomorrow." ”

The crowd, who was still a little tired, listened to Dao Qiao'er's words, and suddenly became excited: "Yes, yes, let's not take the ready-made ones, what effort do we have to make." ”

Li Yunlan also reacted immediately when she heard Qiao'er's words and said: "Yes, I almost forgot about it, that cheap maid just provided us with convenience, and we have to work hard this time." ”

"Yes, that was born to serve our lives, and she still wanted to surpass us at that time, are we the ones she can cross? She won't want to get past us in her life. ”

In a burst of laughter mixed with swearing, the girls had already walked in the direction of the bamboo forest where Zhi Ning was yesterday. In the dark night, they seemed to have forgotten that they were no longer the young lady who hugged them back and forth.
